Several heroes split from the main Justice League over dissatisfaction with the League's association with the
United Nations. These characters form their own Justice League, based in Mount Thunder, Colorado. The team is led by
Captain Atom and consists of
Maxima,
Blue Beetle (Ted Kord),
Booster Gold, and
Amazing-Man (Will Everett III). They are later joined by
Firestorm (
Ronnie Raymond),
Plastique, and the
Wonder Twins (Zan and Jayna).
Carol Ferris becomes the administrator of the Mount Thunder facility. The characters never refer to the team as "Extreme Justice" in the series; they are called that in an issue of
Justice League America. This is when the current ruler,
Queen Beatriz, is rebuilding the
Extremists. Most of Extreme Justice, having lost friends to the group before, do not want to tolerate the existence of these entities. They invade the country and destroy what they think are robots, but are in fact cyborgs created from of the Queen's subjects. They allegedly volunteered, a whole army's worth, but Captain Atom destroys all the facilities and threatens worse if Beatriz continues. This particular incident is the last straw and all versions of the Justice League are disbanded. In summer 1996, all three Justice League series were cancelled and replaced by an ongoing monthly titled
JLA. ==References==
